Morning Motivation- Now there’re Apps for that

Getting up and going in the mornings can be difficult for quite a few of us. While most of us know how to use the alarm on our smart phones, why not take it to another level and use some apps that not only wake you up but get you motivated to get out the door in a good mood. Granted there are dozens of apps out there that can do this, but here are some we reviewed and put together for morning motivation.

Alarm Clock Extreme-this not so obnoxious sounding app can be set to slowing increase in volume so as to not shock you awake. There’s even a snooze feature that’s customizable. You can either solve a math problem to dismiss the alarm or just snooze. There’s even the option of setting the snooze so it decreases in time after each alarm and a maximum number of times you can hit the snooze.

Sunrise, from the developers of Foursquare’s user interface design, integrates Google Calendar, Facebook, Eventbrite and LinkedIn and more into an eye-appealing morning digest of short emails. You can check the latest weather; see your schedule for the day along with thumbnails of who’s celebrating a birthday. Rescheduling an event is done with just a tap of an arrow. The email subject line tells you how many events and birthdays on that day’s calendar and the emails arrive by 7 a.m. to give you plenty of time for handling things.
